I18N strings resource doesn't work well on Mac Cocoa App.

I made I18N strings resource by ResX file.
But, it doesn't works well on only Xamarin.Mac cocoa app.
On Mac Console app, it works well.

My test code is here.
https://github.com/simeon052/I18NSample

Do anyone have a good idea?

    Xamarin.Mac's msbuild logic currently does not support resx files, so the ja-JP folder in your example is not being copied into your app bundle. If you, for example, copy it into i18NSample.Mac.app/Contents/MonoBundle then your sample will work.

    I would suggest using this sample: https://developer.xamarin.com/samples/mac/UseMSBuildToCopyFilesToBundleExample/

    to add logic to copy the files you need into the bundle. By doing it here instead of manually, you shouldn't need to resign your bundle when you add code signing.
